Instructions

1. 1

   Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C) and line a large baking sheet with parchment paper.

2. 2

   In a skillet over medium-high heat, cook the ground beef, chopped onion, and minced jalapeños until the beef is browned and vegetables are soft. Drain excess fat.

3. 3

   Stir in the Jamaican curry powder, dried thyme, salt, and black pepper. Cook for 1 minute until fragrant.

4. 4

   Add the beef broth and breadcrumbs. Simmer for 2-3 minutes, stirring constantly, until the mixture absorbs the liquid and becomes a thick, moist paste. Remove from heat.

5. 5

   Allow the beef mixture to cool for 10 minutes, then stir in the shredded cheddar cheese.

6. 6

   Unroll the pie crusts on a lightly floured surface. Cut out circles approximately 6 inches in diameter (you should get about 8 circles by re-rolling scraps).

7. 7

   Place about 3 tablespoons of filling on one half of each dough circle. Fold the dough over the filling to create a half-moon shape.

8. 8

   Press the edges together with your fingers, then crimp firmly with a fork to seal.

9. 9

   Whisk the beaten egg with the turmeric powder. Brush this yellow wash over the top of each patty to mimic the traditional golden crust color.

10. 10

    Bake for 20-25 minutes, or until the pastry is golden brown and flaky. Let cool slightly before serving.
